Jesus said to him in answer, If anyone has love for me, he will keep my words: and he will be dear to my Father; and we will come to him and make our living-place with him.

Jesus saw that they had a desire to put the question to him, so he said to them, Is this what you are questioning one with another, why I said, After a little time, you will see me no longer; and then again, after a little time, you will see me?

Jesus made answer, Have you faith now?

Jesus said these things; then, lifting his eyes to heaven, he said, Father, the time has now come; give glory to your Son, so that the Son may give glory to you:

And this is eternal life: to have knowledge of you, the only true God, and of him whom you have sent, even Jesus Christ.

When Jesus had said these words he went out with his disciples over the stream Kedron to a garden, into which he went with his disciples.

And Judas, who was false to him, had knowledge of the place because Jesus went there frequently with his disciples.

Then Jesus, having knowledge of everything which was coming on him, went forward and said to them, Who are you looking for?

Their answer was, Jesus the Nazarene. Jesus said, I am he. And Judas, who was false to him, was there at their side.

So again he put the question to them, Who are you looking for? And they said, Jesus the Nazarene.

Jesus made answer, I have said that I am he; if you are looking for me, let these men go away.

Then Jesus said to Peter, Put back your sword: am I not to take the cup which my Father has given to me?

Then the band and the chief captain and the police took Jesus and put cords round him.

And Simon Peter went after Jesus with another disciple. Now that disciple was a friend of the high priest and he went in with Jesus into the house of the high priest;

Then the high priest put questions to Jesus about his disciples and his teaching.

Jesus made answer, I said things openly to the world at all times; I have given my teaching in the Synagogues and in the Temple to which all the Jews come; and I have said nothing secretly.

Jesus said in answer, If I have said anything evil, give witness to the evil: but if I said what is true, why do you give me blows?

So they took Jesus from the house of Caiaphas to the Praetorium. It was early. They themselves did not go into the Praetorium, so that they might not become unclean, but might take the Passover.

(That the word of Jesus might come true, pointing to the sort of death he would have.)

Then Pilate went back into the Praetorium and sent for Jesus and said to him, Are you the King of the Jews?

Jesus made answer, Do you say this of yourself, or did others say it about me?

Jesus said in answer, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom was of this world, my disciples would have made a good fight to keep me out of the hands of the Jews: but my kingdom is not here.

Then Pilate said to him, Are you then a king? Jesus made answer, You say that I am a king. For this purpose was I given birth, and for this purpose I came into the world, that I might give witness to what is true. Every lover of what is true gives ear to my voice.

Then Pilate took Jesus and had him whipped with cords.

Then Jesus came out with the crown of thorns and the purple robe. And Pilate said to them, Here is the man!

And he went again into the Praetorium and said to Jesus, Where do you come from? But Jesus gave him no answer.

Jesus gave this answer: You would have no power at all over me if it was not given to you by God; so that he who gave me up to you has the greater sin.

So when these words came to Pilate's ear, he took Jesus out, seating himself in the judge's seat in a place named in Hebrew, Gabbatha, or the Stone Floor.

So then he gave him up to them to be put to death on the cross. And they took Jesus away;

Where they put him on the cross with two others, one on this side and one on that, and Jesus in the middle.

And Pilate put on the cross a statement in writing. The writing was: JESUS THE NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

The writing was seen by a number of the Jews, for the place where Jesus was put to death on the cross was near the town; and the writing was in Hebrew and Latin and Greek.

And when Jesus was nailed to the cross, the men of the army took his clothing, and made a division of it into four parts, to every man a part, and they took his coat: now the coat was without a join, made out of one bit of cloth.

Now by the side of the cross of Jesus were his mother, and his mother's sister Mary, the wife of Cleopas, and Mary Magdalene.

So when Jesus saw his mother and the disciple who was dear to him, he said to his mother, Mother, there is your son!

After this, being conscious that all things had now been done so that the Writings might come true, Jesus said, Give me water.

So when Jesus had taken the wine he said, All is done. And with his head bent he gave up his spirit.

So the men of the army came, and the legs of the first were broken and then of the other who was put to death on the cross with Jesus:

But when they came to Jesus, they saw that he was dead by this time, and so his legs were not broken;

After these things, Joseph of Arimathaea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, made a request to Pilate to let him take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate said he might do so. So he went and took away his body.

And Nicodemus came (he who had first come to Jesus by night) with a roll of myrrh and aloes mixed, about a hundred pounds.

Then they took the body of Jesus, folding linen about it with the spices, as is the way of the Jews when they put the dead to rest.

So they put Jesus there, because it was the Jews' day of getting ready for the Passover, and the place was near.

Then she went running to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple who was loved by Jesus, and said to them, They have taken away the Lord out of the place of the dead and we have no knowledge where they have put him.

She saw two angels in white seated where the body of Jesus had been, one at the head and the other at the feet.

And then looking round, she saw Jesus there, but had no idea that it was Jesus.

Jesus said to her, Woman, why are you weeping? who are you looking for? She, taking him for the gardener, said to him, Sir, if you have taken him away from here, say where you have put him and I will take him away.

Jesus said to her, Mary! Turning, she said to him in Hebrew, Rabboni! (which is to say, Master).

Jesus said to her, Do not put your hand on me, for I have not gone up to the Father: but go to my brothers and say to them, I go up to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.

At evening on that day, the first day of the week, when, for fear of the Jews, the doors were shut where the disciples were, Jesus came among them and said to them, May peace be with you!

And Jesus said to them again, May peace be with you! As the Father sent me, even so I now send you.

Now Thomas, one of the twelve, named Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.

And after eight days, his disciples were again in the house and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were shut, Jesus came, and taking his place in the middle of them, he said, May peace be with you!

Jesus said to him, Because you have seen me you have belief: a blessing will be on those who have belief though they have not seen me!

A number of other signs Jesus did before his disciples which are not recorded in this book:

But these are recorded, so that you may have faith that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and so that, having this faith you may have life in his name.

After these things Jesus let himself be seen again by the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and it came about in this way.

Now very early in the morning Jesus was there by the edge of the sea (though the disciples were not conscious that it was Jesus).

So Jesus said to them, Children, have you taken any fish? They made answer, No.

So the disciple who was dear to Jesus said to Peter, It is the Lord! Hearing that it was the Lord, Peter put his coat round him (because he was not clothed) and went into the sea.

Jesus said to them, Get some of the fish which you have now taken.

Jesus said to them, Come and take some food. And all the disciples were in fear of putting the question, Who are you? being conscious that it was the Lord.

Then Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and the fish in the same way.

Now this was the third time that Jesus let himself be seen by the disciples after he had come back from the dead.

Then when they had taken food, Jesus said to Simon Peter, Simon, son of John, is your love for me greater than the love of these others? He said to him, Yes, Lord; you are certain of my love for you. He said to him, Then give my lambs food.

Again, a second time, he said to him, Simon, son of John, have you any love for me? Yes, Lord, he said, you are certain of my love for you. Then take care of my sheep, said Jesus.

He said to him a third time, Simon, son of John, am I dear to you? Now Peter was troubled in his heart because he put the question a third time, Am I dear to you? And he said to him, Lord, you have knowledge of all things; you see that you are dear to me. Jesus said to him, Then give my sheep food.

Then Peter, turning round, saw the disciple who was dear to Jesus coming after them--the disciple who was resting on his breast at the last meal, and said, Lord, who is it who will be false to you?

Seeing him, Peter said to Jesus, What about this man?

Jesus said to him, If it is my desire for him to be here till I come back, what is that to you? come yourself after me.

So this saying went about among the brothers that this disciple would not undergo death: Jesus, however, did not say that he would not undergo death, but, If it is my desire for him to be here till I come back, what is that to you?

And Jesus did such a number of other things that, if every one was recorded, it is my opinion that even the world itself is not great enough for the books there would be.

I have given an earlier account, O Theophilus, of all the things which Jesus did, and of his teaching from the first,

And said, O men of Galilee, why are you looking up into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken from you into heaven, will come again, in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.

And they all with one mind gave themselves up to prayer, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.

My brothers, the word of God had to be put into effect, which the Holy Spirit had said before, by the mouth of David, about Judas, who was guide to those who took Jesus,

For this reason, of the men who have been with us all the time, while the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,

Men of Israel, give ear to these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man who had the approval of God, as was made clear to you by the great works and signs and wonders which God did by him among you, as you yourselves have knowledge,

This Jesus God has given back to life, of which we all are witnesses.

For this reason, let all Israel be certain that this Jesus, whom you put to death on the cross, God has made Lord and Christ.

And Peter said, Let your hearts be changed, every one of you, and have baptism in the name of Jesus Christ, for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will have the Holy Spirit given to you.

But Peter said, I have no silver or gold, but what I have, that I give to you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, get up on your feet.

The God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, has given glory to his servant Jesus; whom you gave up, turning your backs on him, when Pilate had made the decision to let him go free.

And that he may send the Christ who was marked out for you from the first, even Jesus:

Being greatly troubled because they were teaching the people and preaching Jesus as an example of the coming back from the dead.

Take note, all of you, and all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you put to death on the cross, whom God gave back from the dead, even through him is this man now before you completely well.

Now when they saw that Peter and John were without fear, though they were men of no education or learning, they were greatly surprised; and they took note of them that they had been with Jesus.

And they sent for them, and gave them orders not to make statements or give teaching in the name of Jesus.

For, truly, in this town, against your holy servant, Jesus, who was marked out by you as Christ, Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, came together,

While your hand is stretched out to do works of mercy; so that signs and wonders may be done through the name of your holy servant Jesus.

And with great power the Apostles gave witness of the coming back of the Lord Jesus from the dead; and grace was on them all.

The God of our fathers gave Jesus back to life, whom you had put to death, hanging him on a tree.

And he seemed to them to be right: and they sent for the Apostles, and, after having them whipped and giving them orders to give no teaching in the name of Jesus, they let them go.

And every day, in the Temple and privately, they went on teaching and preaching Jesus as the Christ.

For he has said in our hearing that this Jesus of Nazareth will put this place to destruction and make changes in the rules which were handed down to us by Moses.

But he was full of the Holy Spirit, and looking up to heaven, he saw the glory of God and Jesus at the right hand of God.

And Stephen, while he was being stoned, made prayer to God, saying, Lord Jesus, take my spirit.

But when they had faith in the good news given by Philip about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, a number of men and women had baptism.

For up to that time he had not come on any of them; only baptism had been given to them in the name of the Lord Jesus.

So Philip, starting from this writing, gave him the good news about Jesus.
